Ramirez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Ramirez is batting .111 (5-for-45) through his first 11 games of September and will hit the bench Sunday after starting the previous five contests. Angel Genao will step in at the hot corner and bat seventh in the series finale at Minnesota.

Karros is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Karros started the past five games after returning from a concussion Tuesday, going 3-for-19 with a triple and a solo homer, and he'll get a breather Sunday. Vimael Machin will step in at the hot corner and bat seventh for the Rockies in the series finale.

Baty (knee) is starting at second base and batting eighth in Sunday's series finale against the Yankees.

Baty was out of the Mets' lineup the last two games while working through a left knee injury, but he's been cleared to play in Sunday's matinee. He recorded a hit in each of his last six games prior to his injury, going 6-for-14 with two home runs, 10 RBI and two doubles in that span.

Wilson went 5-for-6 with a double, one RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 19-1 win over the Athletics.

The Mariners racked up 23 hits, and Wilson did more than his fair share of damage from the bottom of the order. He had gone just 8-for-53 (.151) over his previous 21 games since the start of August before breaking out Saturday. Wilson has been seeing a short-side platoon role at third base lately, sharing the position with switch-hitter Brock Rodden. On the year, Wilson is batting .217 with a .636 OPS, four home runs, 13 RBI, 21 runs scored, five doubles and six stolen bases over 160 plate appearances between the Mariners and the Orioles.

Jung went 2-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Before coming off the injured list Saturday, Jung last played July 21 versus the White Sox before he was shelved by a calf strain. The injury put a damper on what was shaping up be a strong season for the third baseman. Through 93 contests, Jung is batting .295 with an .802 OPS, nine home runs, 36 RBI, 47 runs scored, 23 doubles, one triple and one stolen base.

Moncada (knee) isn't expected to play again this season, MLB.com reports.

Moncada underwent right knee surgery in early June. He's been rehabbing at his home in Florida but isn't close to a return to game action. In the likely event that Moncada's campaign is indeed over, he'll finish with a .189/.308/.297 slash line, three homers, nine runs, 10 RBI and one stolen base over 41 games.

Muncy is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.

Muncy had started in seven of the Athletics' previous eight games -- six at designated hitter, one at third base -- and slashed .385/.407/.615 with two home runs, five RBI and three runs over that stretch, but he could see fewer opportunities over the final two weeks of the season. The Athletics reinstated Shea Langeliers (knee) from the injured list Saturday, and he's expected to operate as the team's primary DH the rest of the way, closing off Muncy's primary path to playing time.

White isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.

White has notched a hit in back-to-back games, but the A's will keep him on the bench to begin Saturday's contest. Jeff McNeil will shift to first base to cover for White, opening up the keystone for Donovan Walton.

The Rangers reinstated Jung (calf) from the injured list Saturday.

Jung has been sidelined for almost all of the second half due to a left calf strain, but he was cleared to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A on Tuesday and has since gone 3-for-15 with a homer in four games. Now fully healthy, he figures to reclaim his job as Texas' everyday third baseman. Logan O'Hoppe was sent down to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Hayes will start at third base and bat ninth Saturday against the Brewers.

Hayes was left off the first draft of Saturday's lineup, but he'll step in to cover third base while Juan Brito shifts to second to cover for Matt McLain, who was scratched for unknown reasons. Hayes has posted just a .453 OPS across 220 plate appearances this season and has gone 1-for-9 since returning from the IL on Monday.
